The latest trailer for Captain America: Winter Soldier kicked off an evening of multi-million dollar advertisements and trailers for movies that cost more to make than the gross national product of a mid-sized nation. There’s going to be some football too.

The new two-and-a-half minute peek at Marvel Studios’ April 4 release shows off a bunch of new stuff. You can see Black Widow’s new hairdo (ever notice how it changes in every movie?), Winter Soldier’s robo-arm, Falcon swooping around like a boss, and Cap beating the crap out of an elevator full of dudes in suits.

Don’t take our word for it. Just hit play below.

Helldivers 2 was on top of the world. Released in February to surprise acclaim, PlayStation and Arrowhead's co-op shooter quickly became the kind of success story that any gaming company would want to emulate. In a world of live service risks, this one was paying off thanks to a dedicated community whose commitment to democracy showed no signs of slowing down.

Then it all came crashing down in an instant.

The wait is over: Hades 2 is out now in early access on Steam

Hades 2 -- the highly anticipated sequel to a roguelike that Digital Trends considers to be one of the best games of all time -- is out now.

Developer Supergiant Games surprise released the game at 10 a.m. PT on Monday following a positively received Technical Test in April. It costs $30, a price that Supergiant Games says it "may raise" in the future depending on the scope of content added between now and Hades 2's full launch. As for how long that will take, the Steam page says that thegame will "be in Early Access development at least through the end of 2024." Supergiant Games isn't committing to a specific 1.0 launch date at this time.

Do you need a PSN account to play Helldivers 2?

Helldivers 2 has been a huge hit this yea,r with a consistent player base since its launch in February and a peak of over 450,000 players. Fighting for Super Earth, players have been waging war against monstrous insects and deadly robots and laying down their lives for democracy. But the game's reputation took a hit recently when it was announced that PC players would have to register for a PlayStation Network account to continue playing the game — a move that would have left players in parts of the world with no PSN support high and dry.

In response, there was a major outcry (and review bombing of the game on Steam) in response, which led Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios to swiftly alter their policies to appease the player base. The entire ordeal has been a bit of a whirlwind, so it's OK if you're a little lost. Here's what you need to know.
